Weekend Breakfast

These pancakes are surprisingly fluffy and tender, not what you expect with whole wheat pancakes.  I have found whole wheat pastry flour in the bulk section of my local Whole Foods Market.  I added fresh blueberries for extra fiber and sweetness.  My son loves these pancakes and even after two pancakes, he politely asks, “Mo,…

We’ll Always Have Paris!

In April, 2006 my hubby surprised me with a week long trip to Paris (and not Paris, Texas!). It was everything I had dreamed it would be and so much more. The French are known for their food but we opted not to eat at fancy restaurants because of the price. One of our favorite…

Meatless Monday

One thing I really appreciate about my hubby is that he isn’t a picky eater. He eats everything I make with no complaints and although he may prefer to have something else, he is always willing to eat what’s on the table. One such meal is eggplant. I adore eggplant. I really like the Indian…

The chicken can be served as an appetizer or as a simple main course served along grilled flatbread and a raita…

Meatless Monday
